Now what did Jesus say?
"Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you."
- Matthew 7:6
It is not to say that you cannot try at an appropriate time, but for them to be told that they're sinning and are going to hell on a daily basis, and at the same time facing hardships along with their fellows as they endure bullies, social ridicule, internet trolls, etc what do you expect them to do? To us?
If persecution happens now, part of it will be OUR FAULT. Because some of us are harrying them!
